Marvel Comics To Launch All-new Moon Knight Series Written By Warren Ellis

New York, NY (Nov. 22, 2013) -- This coming March, Marvel Comics will illuminate the dark recesses of the Marvel Universe as it launches a new monthly Moon Knight series by award-winning and critically acclaimed writer Warren Ellis (Iron Man: Extremis, Astonishing X-Men) and the outstanding artistic team of Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire (Venom; Deadpool). Moon Knight will continue the Company?s popular All-New Marvel NOW! initiative with an all-new #1 that will be sure to redefine the mysterious vigilante and solidify him as one of Marvel?s most extraordinary heroes.

This gritty and bold era of Moon Knight?s history is orchestrated by Warren Ellis, who promises to introduce readers to the dark corners and unspoken fears of the Marvel Universe.

?The touchstone for this book, for me, has been ?Weird Crime?. Both ground-level action and high strangeness,? says Warren Ellis, in an interview with Marvel.com. ?This is a take on Moon Knight that unifies all the previous takes, making the character whole and taking him forward into a new kind of crime fiction.?

?Moon Knight is one of Marvel?s most underrated characters we have and with ?MK? back in New York City, the book is going to be a reflection of its environment: filled with darkness, secrets and super heroes,? says Series Editor, Stephen Wacker.

Every FIRST ISSUE bearing the All New Marvel NOW! branding includes a code for a free digital copy of that same comic on the Marvel Comics app for iOS and Android devices.

Once again, the biggest creators bring you the biggest characters in the biggest stories?and it?s happening NOW!
